https://www.systanddeploy.com/2020/04/run-file-extract-zip-share-folder.html
In this post I will show you the new version of my tool Run in Sandbox that allows allows you to run directly a file in a Sandbox from a right-click on it.
You can now extract directly a ZIP file and share a folder in the sandbox.
PreRequisites
- At least Windows 10 1903
- Windows Sandbox feature enabled
What is the purpose ?
1. You want to test a specific PS1 or EXE file in an isolated environment
OR
1. You have downloaded a ZIP but you're not sure of it and you want to open it a secure environment
2. A right-click on this file will display a new context menu, Run in Sandbox
3. Once you click on it, a WSB file will be generated on your desktop with a startup command to run the specific PS1 file
4. Then the Sandbox will be automatically launched with this configuration
Note that this tool is now a part of the Microsoft Windows Sandbox GitHub project, available here.
How to get it ?
Th project is available on GitHub, link below.
What's new ?
- A new script Remove_structure.ps1 allows you to remove all context menus and copied folder.
- Allows you to extract a ZIP directly in a Sandbox
- Allows you to share a folder directly in a Sandbox
- Allows you to choose the path where to save the WSB files

How to remove it ?
I also added a script that delete all context menus.
For that just run the Remove_Structure.ps1 file
Sandbox configuration
A config file allows you to apply basic configurations to the Windows Sandbox.
This one called Sandbox_Config.xml.
It is located in C:\ProgramData\Run_in_Sandbox
It allows you to set below options:
- Sandbox VGpu option
- Sandbox Networking option
- Sandbox ReadOnlyAccess option for shared folder
- WSB files location
See below an overview:
If the WSB_Location is set to Default, WSB files will be saved in your desktop.
You can type your own location.
